Chapter 13 Reasons

I don’t know how many times.

Ke Wen didn't know how many times he lamented why Wei and Bao Bao weren't boys.

If it were a boy, he would have changed his belt and whipped it long ago.

It's a pity that there is no if.

Looking at Baobao pretending to be pitiful, Kewen kept thinking silently in his heart: They are still children, they are still children...

But looking at Bao Bao and Wei's looks, Ke Wen always mistakenly saw the word "bear" on their foreheads!

He was even more tired.

So he waved his hands feebly: "Go ahead and go back upstairs..."

"That's not fair!"

Wei suddenly said loudly: "Why do you only punish me with solitary confinement?! Why is this damn girl not punished?!"

"Because Ke Wen loves me the most!"

Babao made an angry face to Wei: "And Ke Wen has said it many times, who made you the leader of everyone? You are called the chief culprit!"

"Stop it!"

Ke Wen slumped on the sofa, exhausted both physically and mentally. He waved his hand again: "This time I will also be punished for the explosion. Go to the study to pick out homework, three books!"

He raised three fingers to the dull Bangbao: "When will you finish writing, you will be allowed to leave this house?"

"No--"

Bangbao, who finally came to his senses, suddenly let out a cry of grief.

She turned around and beat her sister with her small fist: "Come on Wei Ao!

It's all your fault! You should prepare a better plan! Instead of trying to be convenient let me use bombs to help!

"

"cut!"

Wei didn't care about the small strength in the explosive fist. She finally showed a satisfied look and walked towards the stairs after raising her neck proudly.

Blast noisily chased after him.

For a long time,

Ke Wen sighed helplessly again, then shook his head and sighed: "The troublemaker..."

jingle.

The bell rang, and the store door was pushed open.

"Closed today!"

Ke Wen didn't even look at the door and said something in an unhappy tone.

"hehe……"

There was a chuckle, and Fandel walked into the store and said with a smile: "Then come to my place for a drink?"

Ke Wen turned his head slightly and glanced at the other party, then waved his hand to the sofa opposite to indicate that he should sit down. He was really in no mood to say anything.

Amidst the creaking sound, Fandel sat down on the sofa opposite Coven, and his strong body seemed to collapse the sofa.

More than two years have passed, and many changes have occurred in Fandel.

The stubble on his temples has turned white, the muscles on his body have become loose, and he has a slight beer belly.

Fandel's eyes no longer had any sharpness, but became extremely peaceful.

But if you observe carefully, you can still see the deep regret and numbness hidden in his eyes.

The Fander who wanted to fight against Pilvoorf for Zaun in the past is now almost completely dead.

…

The hall became silent after the creaking sound of the sofa.

After a long while, Fandel said slowly: "I have received the news. What they are causing trouble this time is the territory of the Carapace Gang. Let me go with you."

Corwin didn't take no for an answer.

He doesn't care about the divisions of various gangs and territories, so with Fandel's help, it can save him a lot of time in finding the 'sufferer'.

This kind of thing has happened many times before.

Do you really think the people of Zu'an in Dicheng are so united? That is a situation that only occurs externally, and internal battles are even more cruel.

So these two years, specifically this year.

Over the past year, Wei and Baobao have caused a lot of trouble.

And the reason why they are always safe and sound is because Ke Wen is helping them clean up all kinds of messes behind their backs?

After all, Wei and Bao Bao were his adopted daughters, Ke Wen, and even if Fandel wanted to help, it would not be in line with Zaun's rules.

Therefore, Fandel only appeared as a middleman every time.

He was not involved in the negotiations between Corwin and others.

Of course, if he found that Coven was losing money, Fandel would also break the rules and help.

But he has never seen Kewen suffer a loss so far.

At this time, Fandel, who received no response, looked at Coven.

Seeing Ke Wen's haggard appearance, he couldn't help but asked in a funny voice, "What's wrong, man? What's got you into this state?"

Hearing this, Ke Wen moved his eyes stiffly.

He stared at Fandel blankly for a moment, and then said in an erratic tone: "Tell me, what is wrong with my education method?"

"I taught them carefully." Ke Wen seemed to be saying to himself: "I taught them knowledge, taught them the principles of life, and taught them how to behave."

"I never even imposed my views on them."

"I will give examples and stories to teach dialectically, so that they can learn to think on their own."

"But..." Ke Wen was a little distracted: "But why did they become like this?"

"Because of the crowd."

Fandel watched clearly, and he laughed and shook his head: "You and I are not new to the children. The strangers they see here in Dicheng will make them feel fresh and make them pay more attention."

Slightly shrugging, Fandel said helplessly: "That's why strangers will be more vivid in their eyes, and they will naturally follow suit."

When Ke Wen came to his senses, he sighed helplessly: "Then what should I do? We can't keep them trapped at home, right?"

"It'll be nice to grow up."

Fandel smiled and said: "I don't know about you, but this is how I came here when I was a kid?"

He recalled with emotion: "When they grow up and encounter more difficulties, they will realize that we are the real harbor of peace. Only then will we become vivid in their hearts again. Then... they will gain from Only then will our teachings truly take root in their hearts.”

"And then..." Fandel subconsciously looked down at his hands: "People will have matured."

These words made Ke Wen look at him strangely.

He looked at Fandel and said, "You know a lot about it."

Fandel smiled slightly and waved his hand to end the topic.

Ke Wen stood up and expressed his final emotion: "Fander, tell me, what could make people feel more helpless and broken than raising a daughter..."

"Raise two!"

Fandel laughed loudly after saying this.

He also stood up, patted Coven on the shoulder sympathetically, and then walked towards the door.

Ke Wen shook his head and sighed, then followed him.

Half an hour later, Coven won the negotiation in an abandoned alley with his fists.

He got assurance from the howling gangster leader that this matter was only between children.

Kowen expressed satisfaction.

He wiped the blood and saliva on his fists with the gangster's clothes, then threw away the clothes and turned around to say hello.

Fandel, who had his arms crossed, smiled. After hearing the sound, he straightened up slightly and let his back break away from the wall he was leaning on.

He put down his arm, looked around at the dozen gangsters who were lying on the ground groaning in pain, and then took steps to chase after Ke Wen.

The two went back to the bar for a few drinks, and then Corwin returned to the shop.

Late at night, a sound of birds coming from the window made Kewen open his eyes.

The corners of his eyes twitched and he looked at the ceiling.

In his hearing, the sound of opening windows and climbing walls from the fourth floor was so obvious...
